Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

With Yu Potian’s strength—and with the invading forces lacking a single Nascent Soul cultivator—the remaining battle ended swiftly.

What had once seemed like an overwhelming invasion quickly devolved into a one-sided massacre.

After dismissing Xiao Lingxi and allowing her to reunite with her parents and relatives, giving her the opportunity to explain everything that had happened, Chen Xuan followed Yu Potian toward the grand palace located near the center of the island.

Perhaps saving his family had greatly lifted Yu Potian’s spirits.

Or perhaps the time he had spent accompanying Chen Xuan had made him realize that this mysterious senior wasn’t as bloodthirsty as ordinary demonic cultivators.

Whatever the reason, the old man’s tense expression gradually relaxed. Even the way he walked became noticeably lighter than before.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he personally led Chen Xuan through his residence.

Along the way, he couldn’t help but sigh.

"I never imagined the Yu family would suffer such a calamity one day."

"It was all my fault."

He slowly shook his head, his expression filled with bitterness.

"The Jade Treasure has been passed down through my family for countless generations."

"Yet the secret surrounding it only leaked while I was in charge."

"I’ve failed both my family... and my ancestors."

Chen Xuan could clearly sense the sorrow hidden behind those words. It was the sorrow of someone watching generations of effort nearly disappear overnight.

The old man wasn’t pretending.

After all, although the Yu family had ultimately survived, it was impossible to claim everything was fine.

Too many people had died. Large portions of the island had been reduced to ruins. Many of the family’s younger generation had perished before ever reaching their potential.

Combined with the ongoing sea beast riot throughout the Star Archipelago, their future looked increasingly uncertain.

Even if they successfully rebuilt the island, there was no guarantee another wave of beasts—or another demonic sect—wouldn’t descend upon them in the near future.

The current Nine Origins Seas had already fallen into chaos, and no one could predict how long that turmoil would last.

Remaining on Pure Glaze Island was no longer a wise choice.

The only realistic solution would likely be relocating the clan to one of the larger islands, such as Misty Lotus Island, where powerful cultivators and defensive formations offered greater protection.

Yu Potian naturally understood this as well. Still, such matters could only be discussed after today’s crisis had completely passed.

Suppressing his emotions, he led Chen Xuan deeper into the palace until they finally arrived before an enormous underground treasury.

Rows upon rows of treasures filled the vast chamber. Spirit herbs, precious ores, cultivation manuals, ancient weapons, and countless rare materials were neatly arranged inside crystal displays.

Even Chen Xuan couldn’t help but glance around a few extra times. Although none of these treasures particularly interested him, they were still enough to make an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator jealous.

Without lingering, Yu Potian continued walking toward the deepest part of the treasury, perhaps afraid he would grow greedy.

Only after controlling several formations, disabling countless hidden mechanisms, and dispelling layer after layer of concealment arrays did he finally stop before an isolated display case.

He gestured respectfully. "Senior."

Chen Xuan followed the direction of his hand.

Behind the transparent barrier rested a bracelet of bluish-green jade. Each bead resembled polished spirit jade, emitting a faint oceanic glow that never dimmed.

The instant Chen Xuan laid eyes upon it, several treasures inside his spatial ring began resonating violently, as though ready to escape from his grasp and fire toward it.

The pair of jade hairpins. A necklace. The fragments of the crown.

Every ornament he had collected previously seemed eager to respond to the bracelet’s presence.

There was no doubt he had finally found the final piece. At last, the five ornaments required to open the Goddess of the Sea’s inheritance were complete.

Looking at it, Chen Xuan couldn’t suppress the excitement rising inside him.

From the Beastkin woman’s account, he already knew that the so-called Goddess of the Sea had once been an unimaginably powerful cultivator.

At the very least, she had reached the Soul Transformation realm.

Such a cultivation level already stood at the threshold of ascension into the Immortal World.

’According to their legends, the Goddess of the Sea suddenly disappeared after ascending to her Divine Kingdom.’

Chen Xuan, however, found another explanation far more believable.

’Most likely... she ascended to the Immortal World.’

This meant that the inheritance before him could very well belong to an immortal cultivator.

Even someone as wealthy as Chen Xuan couldn’t remain indifferent before such an opportunity. After all, no cultivator would ever complain about obtaining more powerful treasures.

Despite the excitement filling his heart, Chen Xuan didn’t act rashly.

Instead, he quietly stood before the display case without moving.

One second. Two seconds. Five seconds.

In the end, Yu Potian finally let out a helpless sigh.

Walking forward, he began weaving countless complicated seals with both hands. Each hand seal resonated with the formations surrounding the display case.

Layer after layer of restrictions quietly dissolved.

Moments later, the crystal barrier slowly separated. The jade bracelet immediately flew into Yu Potian’s waiting palm.

Only then did he respectfully present it with both hands.

"Senior. This is the Jade Treasure."

"I’ve fulfilled my part of our agreement."

Chen Xuan nodded before calmly accepting the bracelet.

He said nothing about the countless hidden formations surrounding the display case.

Nor did he point out that, had someone attempted to seize the treasure by force, even an ordinary Peak Nascent Soul cultivator would likely have suffered grievous injuries.

It seemed that Yu Potian was not as honest as it seemed.

However, he didn’t know that such precautions meant very little to him.

’Although this clone only possesses Peak Nascent Soul cultivation, the treasures I carry, combined with my combat experience, are enough to render me invincible among cultivators of the same realm.’

More importantly...

’I can faintly sense the Yin-Yang Law Mark resonating with this body.’

’If absolutely necessary, I can temporarily borrow the strength of my true body and unleash power comparable to Soul Formation.’

Fortunately, nothing of the sort was necessary.

After briefly examining the bracelet with his divine sense and confirming there was nothing unusual hidden within it, Chen Xuan stored it away without hesitation.

There would be plenty of time to study the complete inheritance after he returned to a safer location.

Then, he turned around and left, not sparing the other treasures a second glance.

Watching him leave without attempting to seize anything else, Yu Potian quietly released a breath of relief.

Only then did he smile once more.

"Senior, if you’re planning to remain on Pure Glaze Island for a few days, this junior would be honored to host you."

"I’ll prepare the finest residence available. Besides, it’s good to let little Lingxi spend some time with her relatives."

Yu Potian sighed nostalgically.

"I truly never expected Xiao Yu’s daughter to achieve such heights. I still remember holding little Lingxi when she was only a child."

"Even then, I felt she would surpass me someday. That day arrived sooner than I expected..."

His expression appeared filled with heartfelt nostalgia.

However, Chen Xuan was not fooled in the slightest.

Just a few minutes ago, Yu Potian hadn’t even recognized Xiao Lingxi’s name.

Now he was speaking as though he had personally watched her grow up and had become her godfather.

Even Chen Xuan couldn’t help admiring such shamelessness.

Especially when he considered everything.

’How could you possibly fail to notice that one of your descendants reached the Core Formation Realm?’

’Are you truly the ancestor of this family... or merely an impostor?’

Naturally, Chen Xuan understood the reality. Xiao Lingxi had almost certainly broken through only recently.

Before reaching Core Formation, no matter how talented she had been, she simply wasn’t important enough to attract the attention of a Nascent Soul ancestor.

The gap between their realms was simply too vast.

Furthermore, families differed greatly from cultivation sects. Sect elders actively nurtured outstanding disciples.

Family ancestors, meanwhile, usually focused only on their direct descendants.

As for the collateral branches? It was already fortunate if they weren’t deliberately suppressed for resources.

Expecting personal guidance from a Nascent Soul ancestor was little more than wishful thinking.

Understanding all this, Chen Xuan merely smiled without exposing Yu Potian’s obvious exaggeration.

There was no point in trying to expose him. Even just for Xiao Lingxi’s sake.

As for the invitation to remain on Pure Glaze Island? He immediately turned it down.

His objectives had already been fulfilled.

Not only had he obtained the final treasure required to open the Goddess of the Sea’s inheritance, but he had also accepted his third disciple!

And this time, there was no room for doubt. The floating System notifications before his eyes served as undeniable proof.

[Congratulations! It has been detected that the Host has accepted an 8-Star Talent as their disciple!]

[Congratulations on receiving the following rewards:]
